The nation’s uninsurance rate has remained below 11% since 2015, since the Affordable Care Act created the individual insurance marketplace.

Medicaid redeterminations began in April after a period of continuous enrollment during the COVID-19 public health emergency. States have taken different approaches to the process, which has complicated efforts to get a clear picture of redeterminations’ impact on beneficiaries nationwide.
